My aunt got me in the habit of keeping a tablet fixed to the fridge with a pen hanging from it, so that if you used up the last of something, you wrote it down. Or if you were doing inventory on ingredients for a recipe, you were right there to write down what you needed.
My aunt always went over the list with one of those multicolored pens to label which part of the store particular things were in, so we weren’t running around. She’d tell one of us to get the couple of things we needed from dairy, another from cleaning supplies, etc.
I shop online now, so order doesn’t matter. Even with tip and the yearly membership fee, I find I save money, because I have eliminated impulse shopping.
I also do not walk around a store pushing a cart with my elbows, while reading a list.
Pushing a cart with your elbows has to be a geezer thing, but I doubt it was ever cool.
I’ve been leaning over a cart to push it all my life because it helps my back - so not only a senior thing. Unless I am visualizing something different here. I kind of push with my upper body.
Also, i see a lot of dresses and skirts, usually worn over tights. (It’s winter here.) When i was in college, no one wore skirts. Now i see tons of skirts
I think we’re mixing two ways of thinking. Some are saying things they might see, in this time an “old lady writing stuff down” as what a geezer might do
Not that it was so “cool” but just done in olden(er) days.
A younger person or even just a tech savvy older person sees that as old fashioned.
When you say “blue jeans” , do you literally mean jeans that are blue? I don’t see males wearing leggings or pajama pants and plenty of them are not wearing blue denim pants - but a lot are wearing pants that are more similar to jeans than any other style of pants , even though they are different colors/fabric.
